His stories of the Emergence - a worldwide explosion of metahumanity beginning in 1963 with a scared little girl - were first published online beginning in 2004. From them came the character of Francis Drake, an Emerged cop born in the form of a humanoid dragon. The stories of Firedrake first saw light online in 2008 and spanned numerous chapters, eventually becoming a series of books.

The Adventures of Jericho Sims stem from long-ago discussions and have at last seen the light of day! Featuring the exploits of a cursed gunslinger in a wandering search across the American Old West as he seeks the demonic doctor who killed his comrades. Paranormal and supernatural events and creatures assail him on all fronts, and Jericho finds himself drawn deeper and deeper into a world he never knew existed.
